I had to stop reading at this point:
"The word femme-fatale is Goth based. Many of the alluring women of our time - Nigella Lawson, Debbie Harry, Chrissie Hynde, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Lily Allen - have a touch of the Goth about them."

This is my favourite quote ever: "One governor of a famous boarding school told me that it was as serious a problem as binge drinking, but rarely discussed for fear of encouraging more girls to do it."

Yes, it's a SERIOUS PROBLEM, so lets just ignore it and hope it goes away. Right.
